On approach to the cottage I was dismayed to see the gutters overflowing with weeds etc. This, I thought, does not bode well. However, the inside was nice and jolly with plenty of seaside themed pictures and assorted sculptures. The furnishings were in very good order, and the variety of lighting options good. The dining table had bench seats - fine for breakfast but not too relaxing of an evening. The beds are comfortable - one large double, two singles in a bunk style. Plenty of wardrobe space and drawers. The bathroom has a nice bath, but the shower is tiny; the water though was good and hot. A problem we find in most lets, as in this one, is a lack of shelf space in the bathroom, and there is space for some tiered racks in the corners. Nice towels. No shower gel. The kitchen had only six mugs. There was no washing up liquid and no dishwasher tablets, not things we carry with us or would buy on a short break. Betty's Cottage, although beside a road, is in an excellent position being close to everything you will need - beach, shops, bus stop, taxis, cinema, pubs and restaurants. We thought it in need of a little TLC to bring it back to the five star cottage we're sure it once was, but nevertheless a nice place to stay.

This was a lovely cottage with everything I needed to be self sufficient while visiting St. Ives. The hosts were very responsive to my last minute questions about where to by groceries and how to access the cottage and secure parking. While the cottage is on a main road, the road noise was insignificant it was absolutely quiet overnight.

Lovely little cottage with everything we needed for a few nights away. Good location, 1-minute walk from the main shopping streets and 2 minutes from the quay. Everything was accurately advertised and the owners responded very quickly to texts. Free secure parking space was an added bonus. No complaints.

A great stay in a good location for the period between Christmas and New Year. Clean, cosy with everything we needed. Lots of space for two. Parking just a short walk away - what more could you want for a short break!

This property is in a great location, it’s was the perfect place for our Christmas get away. The owners of this property are lovely and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again

Our stay at Betty’s Cottage was wonderful! The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything we needed. It’s a quick walk to the shops and beaches. We would highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

We loved our stay in Betty’s cottage. The cottage was very clean and tidy and It was in a perfect location. A stones throw away from the centre of St. Ives with shops, restaurants and takeaways within a two minute walk. Having a secure parking space was brilliant. We would definitely recommend Betty’s cottage.

Lovely well equiped property in a great location. Had a little difficulty finding it but hosts were most helpful. Likewise when we couldn't find the hidden cutlery drawer!
